Study Notes
Embryology: Respiratory System Development
- The pharynx has 6 mesodermal thickenings arranged cranio-caudally.
- The first arch is the most prominent, formed by maxillary and mandibular processes.
- The stomodeum (oral pit) forms between the forebrain and heart.
- The buccopharyngeal membrane ruptures in the 5th week.
- The respiratory system develops from the laryngotracheal tube, a ventral outgrowth of the foregut.
- Initially, the epithelial lining of the respiratory system is endodermal in origin, except for the nose, which is ectodermal.
Face/Nose Development (4th-8th week)
- The fronto-nasal process forms a median prominence from the head fold.
- Two maxillary processes develop from the dorsal part of the first pharyngeal arch.
- Two mandibular processes develop from the ventral part of the first pharyngeal arch.
- Nasal placodes (ectodermal thickenings) on the fronto-nasal process appear in the 4th week.
- These placodes invaginate to form nasal pits, and medial and lateral nasal folds appear in the 5th week.
- Lateral nasal folds form the alae (wings) of the nose.
- Medial nasal folds fuse, forming the premaxilla/intermaxillary segment, contributing to the nasal septum, philtrum, central upper jaw, and the primary palate.
Maxillary Process Changes
- Maxillary processes grow medially to fuse with medial nasal folds, forming the upper lip.
- They grow laterally to fuse with mandibular processes, forming the cheeks.
- They grow superiorly, separating from lateral nasal folds via the nasolacrimal groove.
- The groove develops into the nasolacrimal duct.
- Mandibular processes fuse with each other medially to form the lower lip and chin.
- Maxillary processes fuse with mandibular processes to form the cheeks.
Face Musculature
- Face musculature originates from the mesoderm of the 2nd pharyngeal arch, with innervation from the facial nerve.
- The upper lip is primarily formed from the maxillary process, except for the philtrum (formed by the intermaxillary segment).
- The lower lip forms from the mandibular processes.
Palate Development
- The primary palate is the anterior triangular area, carrying the incisors, and arises from the intermaxillary segment.
- The secondary palate develops as shelf-like projections from the inner side of maxillary processes.
- These shelves fuse in the midline with the descending nasal septum.
- The soft palate forms from the non-ossified portion posterior to the nasal septum.
Anomalies of the Face
- Oblique facial cleft: Failure of maxillary and lateral nasal folds fusion.
- Cleft lip (harelip): Failure of medial nasal folds (central upper cleft lip) or mandibular processes (central lower cleft lip) fusion, unilateral or bilateral.
- Macrostomia: An abnormally large mouth opening, due to incomplete fusion of maxillary and mandibular processes.
- Microstomia: An abnormally small mouth opening, due to excessive fusion of maxillary and mandibular processes.
Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, and Lung Development
- The trachea and esophagus form from the laryngotracheal tube, a ventral outgrowth of the foregut.
- The epithelial lining of the respiratory tract originates from endoderm.
- Mesoderm forms cartilage and muscles of the larynx and trachea.
- Lung buds form initially, then divide into left and right main bronchi, further branching into secondary and tertiary bronchi.
- The epithelium undergoes recanalization.
- Development progresses through pseudo-glandular, canalicular, saccular, and alveolar stages.
Development of Pleurae
- The visceral pleura arises from the splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm.
- The parietal pleura arises from somatic lateral plate mesoderm.
- The pleural cavity is the space between the parietal and visceral pleura.
- The lung development stages include pseudoglandular (1-4 months), canalicular (4-6 months), saccular (6-9 months), and alveolar (up to 8 years).
Anomalies of Larynx
- Laryngeal atresia: Failure of recanalization.
- Laryngeal web: Incomplete canalization.
- Laryngomalacia: Soft immature laryngeal cartilage causing stridor (common cause of infant stridor).
Anomalies of Trachea
- Tracheal atresia: Complete closure of the trachea.
- Tracheomalacia: Soft tracheal cartilage causing stridor.
- Tracheo-esophageal fistula: Abnormal partitioning of the cranial part of the foregut by the tracheo-esophageal septum, potentially causing esophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula, impacting swallowing and breathing.
Lung Anomalies
- Lung agenesis or hypoplasia: Absence or underdevelopment of the lungs.
- Congenital cystic lesions: Cysts in the lungs of possible tracheal or esophageal origin.
- Accessory lung lobes: Extra lobes in the lungs.
- Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease): Premature infants exhibit insufficient surfactant production.
Development of Diaphragm
- Diaphragm development originates from the mesoderm.
- Central tendon and sternal components arise from the septum transversum.
- Costal elements derive from the lateral body walls.
- Median and arcuate ligaments connect with adjacent abdominal structures.
- Muscle arises from the mesentery of the esophagus.
- Cervical myotomes provide innervation for the diaphragm.
Congenital Anomalies of Diaphragm
- Parasternal (Morgagni) hernia: Visceral organs herniate through a defect between the sternum and ribs.
- Bochdalek hernia: Visceral organs herniate through a posterior defect, commonly on the left side, into the pleural cavity, potentially compressing the lungs.
- Congenital hiatus hernia: The esophagus or stomach herniates through a defect in the diaphragm (hiatus), potentially causing gastroesophageal reflux.
